Half-way To Midway

There's a small lake on the Dempster Highway, about half way between here and the Yukon border.  Hence the name, Midway Lake.

Here's a shot of our spacious living/dining room.  The door in the back, leads to a tiny balcony (just barely big enough to stand on and turn around), but it is nice to be able to step outside and check the weather out prior to going out.  It's actually our fire exit, and has a fold-up ladder that we would have to hang off the balcony and climb down, in the event of a fire that's blocking our one real door.
All we've been hearing about since we got here was the big Midway event taking place on the August long weekend.  We've increased orders, placed sales items, and rearranged our days off, knowing that none of our staff will show up for the weekend (since they'll all be at the event).  Sales have already been picking up, but I'm just going to be glad when it's over.
There's supposed to be a big tour showing up here tonight, with eleven guests for the hotel.  I already got some existing guests to share rooms, and one other guy to try to find other lodgings for the night, in order to make room.  It's already nine thirty, and nobody has shown up yet.  At least the ferry closes at eleven thirty, so that nobody can show up after midnight.

Stay tuned.
